‘You are stronger than you know’ a new song by Rachel Beck but also a call to arms, stay home, stay still, you can do it , be it - we are learning that - for many of us we are not being asked to do much it seems but staying still is still not natural, mobility is at the essence of being - we are beings who move, who migrate, but meditate mmmmm. . . but you can do it, you can go in, deep, and listen to the stillness between the rushings, the sounds in the silences. Rachel Beck’s voice is thrilling as the transitions, her song thrives in the liminal, we are stronger than we think if we can think of the gaps as bonds.
“For me, music has been a safe haven in these strange times. As we learn to adapt to a new human condition, I wanted to share a couple of new recordings that feel timely. It’s so important that we not feel alone right now. More than anything else, I just wanted to send a little musical comfort out to the world.” - Grace Potter
